Roofing help wanted: Consuelo's home in Madrid
Consuelo, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Madrid.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain427 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Madrid. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,850, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
Rooting for you, Consuelo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

You're not alone, Consuelo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Sending love. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
